Be Your Own CEO

I am the CEO of Bankable, but I didn’t get here without starting somewhere.  I took a lot of steps to get where I am now. The first thing you need to do is be the CEO of your own life to take steps to achieve greatness in you. 

Every week, I will feature a new step on how to build your way to being your own CEO. I want you to comment below on your progress. Update your profile and talk about how you’re doing! I’ll be checking up on you!

Step Nine...

Time Management! Being your own CEO can make for a very busy life. Managing your time is important if you want to stay on track and accomplish your goals. I keep a schedule for all day, every day and I carry it with me everywhere that I go! Whether it’s a business lunch, a night out to dinner with friends or an appointment with the dentist - it’s all there on my schedule. Here are some tips on how to manage your time and schedule your way to being your own CEO!

1. I already said it- schedule everything and write it down! Put it in your cell phone, in your computer or on your calendar. This is key to making sure you know where you need to be and when you need to be there.

2. Don’t over-commit! If you stretch yourself too thin, you’re never going to be able to give everything 100%. Only take on what you can handle for the day.

3. Don’t ever be late! Time is valuable when you are busy. Don’t waste your time (or other people’s) by being late. Give yourself enough time to get where you need to be on time or even early. Don’t forget- the early bird gets the worm!

Fierce & Love!

I am back in the habit of always having my diary with me. But now I commit to a daily To Do list that schedules the important things. I have just updated my diary for the next two weeks for key things to be done.

Tip 3 is so true. There is no such thing as being "fashionably late".
